Transfer deed of real estate no will

Posted on: 27th Dec, 2013 12:58 pm
Hi I have read your forum and I think I understand what I need to do to get a deed transferred from a deceased family member to the only living heir. Affidavit of heirship. But I thin the nursing home that took care of her upon her death put a lien on the real estate. How does that work? And do liens expire if so much time goes by. I heard the life span of a lien is 7 years but cannot find any readings on that issue. This is in the state of Ohio.

Thank you for your insight.
Hi Jan,

The lien needs to be paid off in order to get the property free and clear. Unless the lien is paid off, I guess it will be difficult for you to get the property transferred in your name.

Thanks

Hi Jan!

Welcome to the forums!

You should get in touch with a real estate attorney and he will help you in understanding the process and get the property transferred in your name.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries,

Thank you both for your insight. How do I find out if there is a lien on the property for sure? I'm trying to find out as much as I can before I hire someone. I do not see anything on the auditors real estate page.

Thanks again!

Hi Jan!

Welcome back to the forums!

You can contact the county recorder's office or get in touch with a title search company in order to find out whether or not there is a lien on the property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
